If I chose not to, they would have fined us $75.00 a day! So it was the option of fixing the road, getting fined $75 a day, or pay the city $100,000 to take the road off our hands. 120 60lb bags of concrete is what we did. The only good part about this? I get a road to clear the snow off with my IH Cub.

I do not know the story on the road, but here were a couple ideas I had to keep people off it.
Put up private property/violators will be prosecuted at there expense signs.
Put up a locked gate.
Have a weight limit put on the road. 3 ton max would keep the buses and construction vehicle off it.
Put up toll road signs , and stand out there when the buses come, charge them to use it.
Finally if it is your private road just park a truck sideways in it. I don't see how they can stop you from blocking your road.
We have a number of private roads around my area. The only stipulation on them is that they must be passable by emergency vehicles if there is a dwelling on it.
